They defeated current champions Manchester City to open their February schedule but lost 4-1 to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Antonio Conte will be keen to bring back the Lilywhites to their form. AC Milan suffered a poor run of results since the turn of the calendar. The Red and Blacks won their 2023 introductory match over Salernitana but followed it with two draws and five losses across all competitions. Stefano Pioli hopes to build up momentum after a recent win over Torino in the Serie A.
The Milan boss will be motivated to bring back the Champions League silverware to the Rossoneri, who last won it in 2007 in a team that featured Kaka, Filippo Inzaghi, Clarence Seedorf, Paolo Maldini, and Andrea Pirlo. Tuesday’s meeting with Tottenham will represent the club’s first Champions League knockout round tie since their 5-1 aggregate loss to Atletico Madrid way back in the 2013-14 season. The reigning champions of Italy have been eliminated at the last-16 stage in five of their previous six appearances in the competition. Milan will be missing the services of first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan, as well as Alessandro Florenzi, Sergino Dest, and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
They currently sit fifth in the Serie A table, tied at 41 points with Atalanta and Roma, three points behind Inter, and 18 points behind leaders Napoli. Here in the Champions League, Milan finished behind English club Chelsea in Group E, but qualified as runners-up ahead of Austrian squad Red Bull Salzburg and Croatian team Dinamo Zagreb. Of the nine competitive matches that Milan played in 2023, they have won just two and lost on five occasions. Their seven-game losing streak was snapped by an Olivier Giroud header to exact revenge against Torino who knocked them off in the Coppa Italia last month. An unconvincing but crucial victory helps alleviate some of the pressure that had been building on manager Stefano Pioli.
Ismael Bennacer is still unavailable as well as Fikayo Tomori. Olivier Giroud will be at the helm, accompanied by Rafael Leao, Brahim Diaz, and Alexis Saelemaekers. Why Tottenham Can Beat MilanTottenham currently has 39 points in the Premier League, occupying the fifth spot and trailing Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United. The Spurs’ run in the EFL Carabao Cup prematurely ended in October at the hands of Nottingham Forest but they are still in contention for the FA Cup, having won over Preston and Portsmouth. In the 2022-23 UCL group stage, Tottenham topped Group D ahead of Germany’s Eintracht Frankfurt, Portuguese club Sporting CP, and French squad Marseille with three wins, two draws, and one loss en route to 11 points from a possible 18.
